IKEA antilop high chair

[chicke09]

Hi

Im going to buy the ikea high chair after many recommendations. For those who already use one, would you say that a cushion insert and extra leg rest are necessary too?

Leg rest for the whole time it's used. We have a non-IKEA one we've added to the Antilop. Make sure they are strapped in a supervised as it makes it easier to climb out!

Cusion with a spare cover (they go in the wash) is good for better sitting up when they're still a baby.

I had a washable cushion cover and it was fine to bung in the wash. Looked cute, dont think the dc cared either way.

I got rid of our footrest after DS learned to push up on it and lean forward over the tray, then fling himself backwards. How he didn't topple it over I don't know. He was strapped in, but it scared me. I think h liked the sound it made as it scooted backwards along the tiles.

Cushion yes my 13 month old still needs it to prop her up as she's small.

Yes insert no to leg rest

Do get a spare tray. Either to use the second one for painting/ messy crafts or so that a clean one can go straight on after the dirty one has been taken off (I put mine in the dishwasher to clean 😬)
